‘Cinderella’s Curse’ – Gory Horror Retelling of ‘Cinderella’ Coming Soon [Exclusive]
Classic children’s tales including Winnie the Pooh and How the Grinch Stole Christmas have been (unofficially) turned into bloody horror films in the recent past, and Cinderella is next finding herself on the chopping block. Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report today that Cinderella is getting the horror treatment with upcoming movie Cinderella’s Curse.
Coming soon from ChampDog Films, Cinderella’s Curse is going up for sale at AFM, and Bloody Disgusting has also learned that ITN Studios will be releasing the film in October 2023.
Filming begins next month in the UK.
Produced and Directed by Louisa Warren, the film is written by Harry Boxley (Mary Had A Little Lamb). The cast includes Kelly Rian Sanson, Chrissie Wunna and Danielle Scott.
Louisa Warren tells Bloody Disgusting, “This an incredibly unique spin on the Cinderella we all love and know. There are going to be some truly horrific deaths by her hands.
“I think the gore hounds are in for a treat in my dark retelling.”
The filmmakers behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey are expanding their public domain horror universe with a handful of upcoming “Poohniverse” movies, including Bambi: The Reckoning, Pinocchio: Unstrung, and Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.
Variety has scored the first image from Neverland Nightmare, seen above.
The website details, “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare follows Wendy Darling as she strikes out in an attempt to rescue her brother Michael from ‘the clutches of the evil Peter Pan.’ Along the way she meets Tinkerbell, who in this twisted version of the story will be seen taking heroine, convinced that it’s pixie dust.”
Scott Jeffrey will direct Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, expected Halloween 2024.
Jeffrey tells us, “I am taking inspiration from French cinema while in prep for this movie. The film will be incredibly tense. I would say it’s a mesh between Switchblade Romance and The Black Phone with our own spin on it. It is a nasty, violent and incredibly dark movie.”
Megan Placito has joined the cast as Wendy Darling, Kit Green is Tinkerbell, Peter DeSouza-Feighoney (The Pope’s Exorcist) is Michael Darling and Charity Kase (RuPaul Drag Race) is James. Martin Portlock will be playing the twisted version of Peter Pan.
Created by J.M. Barrie way back in 1902, the character of Peter Pan – like Winnie the Pooh – is in the public domain, even if the iconic Disney iteration of the character is very much not.
